Kubota KX91-3, KX101-3 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Weak or slow hydraulic functions
Low hydraulic oil, a clogged filter, air in the system, or internal wear make the functions weak, slow, or intermittent. The hydraulic service section covers circuit troubleshooting and repair for the front, swivel, and travel circuits.
Manual Section: IV. Hydraulic system(Service section) p. 271Overheating or high-temperature warnings
Low coolant, dirty radiator fins, a loose fan belt, or a blocked air filter drive up engine temperature. The engine addition section covers cooling checks and maintenance, including a fan belt deflection of 7 to 9 mm.
Manual Section: III. Engine(Engine WSM (Addition)) p. 99Weak or jerky travel and swing
Hydraulic leakage, pilot pressure faults, or wear in the swing bearing and drive components make travel and swing weak or jerky under load. The hydraulic mechanism section explains the main pump, motors, and their performance.
Manual Section: IV. Hydraulic system(Mechanism section) p. 211Hard starting, stalling, or power loss
Fuel contamination, water in the fuel, a clogged filter, or a battery fault leave the engine hard to start or down on power. The engine addition section covers troubleshooting, servicing specifications, and the fuel injection system.
Manual Section: III. Engine(Engine WSM (Addition)) p. 99Pin wear or linkage looseness
Missed greasing and neglected inspection cause pin wear and looseness in the boom, arm, and bucket linkage. The machine body service section covers swing bracket pins and bushes and how to measure and correct looseness.
Manual Section: II. Machine body(Service section) p. 35Electrical or charging faults
Loose connectors, harness damage, or a charging fault cause warning lights and accessory problems. The electrical service section covers checking, disassembling, and servicing the electrical components.
Manual Section: V. Electrical system(Service section) p. 491Frequently Asked Questions
